Rejoice and Tremble

A wonderful book, on what has been an overlooked topic in modern times. Reeves style of writing is reminiscent of Lewis, a wonderful blend of academic precision, and relaxed pastoral conversation.

This approachable book makes clear the Christian perspective of the fear of God, and the benefits that fear bestows upon those that possess it.

I highly recommend this book to any and all Christians. Because remember, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). I am thoroughly looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.

WHAT'S REJOICE AND TREMBLE ABOUT?
The Publisher's Description:

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” —Proverbs 1:7

Fear is one of the strongest human emotions—and one that often baffles Christians. In the Bible the picture can seem equally confusing: Is fear a good thing or a bad thing? And what does it mean to “fear the Lord”?

In Rejoice and Tremble, Michael Reeves clears the clouds of confusion and shows that the fear of the Lord is not a negative thing at all, but an intensely delighted wondering at God, our Creator and Redeemer.

Each exploration of a subject in the Union series will appear in two versions: a full volume and a concise one. The idea is that church leaders can read the full treatment, such as this one and so delve into each topic while making the more accessible concise version widely available to their congregations.
